I'm 51 and after my heart attack 1 year ago, following the advise of ppl like Tim Noakes, Ken Berry, Stan Ekberg, Ben Bickman and others alike, I dropped 80 pounds of weight, cured my diabetes type 2 and my insulin resistance completely (took me about 7 months), and my lipids are excellent. Plus, a tumor in my right side temple which I had for the last 4 years and was told I should pray it won't turn malignant - disappeared. I achieved all these without pills, just food and timing. Oh, and of course, my hypertension went away as well. I was always told all these conditions were for life and I can only try to contain them with drugs - well, I got rid of all of them without any drugs!!!

​@@ChrisBennett-sj5pm You think that many scientists today do not interpret data through their personal "macro-evolutionary believing" lenses? Science in it's original meaning is a search for knowledge. True science leads to God and truth. When you disparage an idea because it seems to be followed like a religion, I think you are self deluding, because you think "scientific" concepts are not religious. If you step outside of this subject, and just ask what are people seeking? My thought is that the Lord gives us an average of 70 to 80 years to enjoy this life before the next one that we can look forward to. When I consider that by this scale I have lived 80 to 91 percent of my normally expected life. That means that in all likelyhood, I have 9 to 20 percent of my time left on this earth. In that time, disease and ill health are major obstacles to feeling really well. I would like to have the best life I can. Serving Jesus Christ is the greatest comfort. He doesn't promise excellent physical health, but he also doesn't desire that I suffer needlessly. People want to not be sick. They want to feel physically well, healthy. Carnivore has helped me accomplish that, when other life style diets have failed. What you need to understand about Carnivore, is that it works for most people. Back to my story. Upon taking up the Carnivore diet, I lost 70 pounds in the first 6 months. That put me into the "not obese, but just overweight" category of BMI. I am about 20 pounds over what the BMI says is the healthiest range for my height. After close to 40 years in the "obese" category, that is a success. Carnivore is basically an elimination diet, just as Vegan is an elimination diet. Let's look at the reason most diets fail. They are too difficult to continue for great lengths of time. For my personality, I am able to "do" Carnivore where other diets were not as "doable. This is a big thing. So beef, bacon, butter, eggs, salt & water (I also do coffee) work best for me. You say the saturated fats will give me heart disease, but I say heart palpitations, pains all through my body, most anxiety and basically now medication free are my results. The proof is in the pudding. Thanks.

For years, it's been concerning how bitterly Noakes has responded to those who questioned his findings. And just what did he mean by 'genocide'? Which particular nation, ethnicity etc were his scientific opponents trying to kill? For a South African icon, he must know how inflammatory his use of that word is, but the sad truth is that he doesn't seem to care.

One of the few if not the only channel that brings us as close as possible to the scientists behind the studies and their motives.

I hate when people assert that a recommendation was made and outcomes only got worse. We were also advised to save for retirement, but a lot of people reach their 60s without enough money to retire, so does that mean we don't need to save for retirement and should start doing the opposite? No, that's ludicrous. If you're going to assert that the recommendations are bad because a population has poor outcomes, you have to show that the population follows the outcomes. Also, I see a lot of studies cited regarding results from different diets, but when you actually look at those controlled studies and what they set as their percentages for low/high fat or low/high carb, it is way more moderate than what most advocates for those diets proclaim.

Another scathing review of pop science/conspiracy influencers. It's really sad when folks replace objective with subjective/anecdotal "truth/science" where popularity replaces integrity. Keep up the great work, Chris!!!!! Thanks for your tireless dedication to verifiable science.

You should look into Peter Rogers MD. He has some great videos about what atherosclerosis is. He says it's really a blood clot. Cholesterol is a part of the equation but doesn't explain it all. He talks a lot about how blood viscosity is the key. The thicker your blood is the more likely clots will form. And what makes blood thick? Too much fat and cholesterol causing blood cells to stick together. Blood sugar too high. Too much sodium. High blood pressure. Ect. Give his KZread a look. He recommends a McDougall type diet but no added salts or sugars and no need to add seeds or nuts. Keep the fat really low and sodium to maximize blood flow. So your blood is more like water and less like a milkshake

A future topic to explore is the limitations of a scientist's brain, and the effects of aging. Tim Noakes has a long and esteemed career, until his low carb switch. However, he is not formally trained in nutrition, and does not know the nutrition literature comprehensively. This is why the chart you discuss at 11:00 is over his head. He is more influenced by his personal experience with weight loss on a low carb diet, and this skewed his objectivity to an unacceptable degree. Ken Berry is another health professional who just doesn't know nutrition science deeply, and is profoundly and naively simplistic in his interpretation of it. He is a King of Nutritional Misinformation.

In addition to Dr Tim Noakes, I also follow and adhere to advice from Dr Paul Mason, Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Judy Cho, Dr Eric Westman, Prof. Bart Kay.

A good youtuber on this is Gil Carvalho (I know plant chompers also watches his videos =): kzread.info/dash/bejne/g4F1rcFml7Ldqqw.html For your reference, epidemiological studies fall under bag 2: better than lab tests, worse than RCTs.

So glad you found a diet ( a way of life that you feel good with) may you continue good health. Just like some Carnivore’s, low carb’s, Vegetarians that has made them healthy by getting rid of many illnesses, may you all do well in your choices. I feel we all have different bodies, what works for one might not work for all.

One other observation of the high meat diet influencers. The most common description of their version of "bad" diets is "high carbohydrate" and their alternative to that always seems to be to eat as much meat as possible. But we know healthy diets are high in whole PLANTS, not necessarily high in carbohydrates. It's quite easy to design a diet where the volume of the diet is 2/3rds or more plants but carbohydrate levels are still quite low. You don't need to eat meat to have a low carbohydrate diet if you really feel the need to go down that path for some reason. Google the eco Atkins diet for an example or just load up your plate with non starchy vegetables (better yet...see a dietician). We know that saturated fat leads to insulin resistance so if you have a diet high in saturated fat you're likely to have insulin control problems and one way to control that would be to limit your carbohydrate intake. But it would make a lot more sense to reduce the saturated fat in your diet dealing with the core problem. One final comment. The biggest problem with the typical western diet is the high intake of processed food and sugar filled drinks. That really has to be the first message people get...replace the junk in your diet with whole foods...vegetables in particular...and drink water.

I always enjoy watching your video as they are easy to watch, deep, educational, and well -researched. I could relate to the things you mentioned about the endurance diet and Tim Noakes - since I am active acthlete and active in the running circles, I often see the concern about carbohydrates damaging ahlete's health - and those often come from misinterpretations of studies, lack of understanding, or simply misplaced context of the advice - ex. when athletes follow diet advice intended for obese individuals.

Honestly, I truly appreciate your intellectual videos regarding nutrition. I've been vegan for MANY years and am way ahead of the average 56+ year old despite many people saying being vegan is deadly and "impossible". I will admit that I've been tricked into thinking certain extreme versions of plant based is the "most healthy" way to go...but...I think I'm finally getting it that the best diet is whole food, plant based, and low fat (but not NO fat).

I think there is also the aesthetic appeal that goes beyond the rhetorical appeals used in crafting these narratives. Since meat heavy diets have been mostly adopted by gym bros because of the ease of over consuming calories from a calorie dense food source for gaining muscle mass. Meanwhile Whole Foods plant heavy diets in general promote leaner bodies because they are not as calorie dense. Even if plants are healthier for longevity, the image of “beefed” up bodies convinces the vast majority, consciously or subconsciously before even a single fallacious appeal is uttered. The reddish complexion most likely associated with overconsumption of heme iron may also subconsciously give the promoters of such diet the sense of energy and even positive anger. If they cause problems 30 years down the line is irrelevant for the split second decision.

Re. Causality of heart disease, how come inflammation is not dicussed as the cause? My understanding is that cholesterol forms plaques, but only as a "band aid" to inflammation. Without inflammation there is no need for the "band aid" (LDL). Heart disease will develop more slowly with lower LDL but that's because the plaques take longer to form and the unrepaired inflammation can lead to cancer, leading to a higher all-cause mortality statistic for those with lower cholesterol levels.

Can you do a video on halal (or kosher) meat versus non halal meat? I ask because most of the studies out there are predominantly working with processed factory meats (cows pumped with chemicals and fed unnatural foods). And halal/kosher meat (if following guidelines) are prepared in a completely different way. They are raised and fed naturally (according to species) and are not given any antibiotics. I wonder if the negative associations we see with red meat has more to do with the source/how they’re prepared rather than just the meat itself? I am sure however even too much of the best meat would still create negative health effects. Would be very interested to know what if any studies there are on specifically halal or kosher meat. Thank you for your amazing channel! It does the impossible of being both educational AND entertaining.

By 50 I suffered from serious injuries, a-fib requiring five heart re-starts, and many more issues related to chronic inflammation. Fast forward to today, and after 13 years of LCHF and five of carnivore, my health and fitness at 65 is incredible, including 13 years with zero a-fib symptoms, all with no meds whatsoever and supplementing only D3, K2 and some magnesium.

My background in biology is of considerable value in this. I have always studied animals of all kinds, including humans, in a holistic and evidentiary way. I deduced that the unusual incidence in older endurance athletes of a-fib might be due to high overall levels of inflammation (which was true for me on high carb), so I went to the lowest inflammation regime I could, which eventually was strict carnivore. I now include seasonal fruit without undue stress or inflammation, probably due to my greatly improved gut biota.
